Sound Insulation Properties of Timber Frame: Simulation and Comparison of Results (original) (raw)

2021, Zenodo (CERN European Organization for Nuclear Research)

In literature, there is an extensive treatment of material characterization in the acoustic field for timber frame and new sustainable materials for insulation. From this, it is possible to identify ranges for each parameter useful for simulation. Indeed, many authors rely on either data from previous works or data obtained from laboratory tests. However, the intervals of values for the parameters in the acoustic field is quite wide. The ranges identified by a literature study will be simulated for the same timber construction element under the same conditions. Then, by varying each parameter within the corresponding range, the results will be compared to understand how the variation of material characterization affects the simulation phase and the final results.
